Answer 1

So avoid it when you can...but sometimes it makes sense to nest resources or methods

So for your case to handle both the accounts/ url and accounts/{account_id} you define another detail route.

You have already defined the one for accounts so you just add another function with a different name and ensure to add the url_path so you can get the account_id variable.

        @detail_route(methods=['get', ], permission_classes=[IsCompanyUserPermission, ])
        def accounts(self, request, pk):
        ...
        return Response(...)

        @detail_route(methods=['get', ], permission_classes=[IsCompanyUserPermission, ], 
                      url_path='^queues/(?P[0-9]+)')
        def account_detail(self, request, pk, account_id):
        ...
        return Response(...)
